Entries tagged with review: fan fic

Oh man, I'd meant to post this *ages* ago and am just now finding the time. I mean, I have this LONG list in my 'to read' file and am barely scratching the surface. (I made an EXCEL SHEET, people!) And my list just keeps getting longer.. thanks to AO3's 'mark to read later' feature. Anyway, my standard disclaimer when doing rec type stuff is this - I don't claim to be an expert on writing. What's written below is merely a list of stuff I've read and my thoughts on them. Nothing more, nothing less. So, with that said, here we go...

While I'm still looking for more pirate fic (seriously people, keep those links coming and if there's anything zombie related? Throw it my way too!), this post is more of a grab-bag of fandoms. I should also mention a new femslash recs comm - femslash_recs. So, if you're looking for something to read, check'em out. The comm's practically brand new, so if you're fandom isn't represented, just wait a bit, I'm sure something will show up.

Eons ago, I was in a Xena Pirate mood and anomalys kindly pointed me in the direction of some Xena Pirate fic. Eons later? I finally read them. I would like to say up front that I'm not a particular fan of 'Sins of the Past' type uber Xena. Give me pixie-haired, sais stabbing, orange bodiced Gabrielle any day of the week. I guess I just prefer fics where the two of them are more equals. Anyway, on to the fics -

Because the weekend's coming up, I have to work and I know I'm going to be bored out of my skull looking for something to do, I thought I'd try something new. Plus, I need some inspiration for my Epic Proportions fic, which I still haven't started, 'cuz the last thing I want is an angry ralst showing up on my doorstep!!

Is there a story you've wanted to read but never had the time, didn't know the author or were unfamiliar with the fandom? Well, here's your chance. Give me a fic and *I'll* read it and review it on my LJ - any fandom, any story (and no you can't suggest your own fic 'cuz that would be cheating). First five responders/fics get read and the reviews will be posted on Monday. And, yes, I'll actually *do* this, unlike the bajillion other things I keep bringing up and forgetting to post about.

This will be the last one of these for a bit. I need to actually start sending out feedback for some of these stories and also start concentrating on my own writing a bit more. This is like a smorgasborg of fic, covering a wide range of fandoms. These are arranged in no particular order other than the order in which I picked them before reading. As always this nothing more than 'in my opinion'.

Okay, I'd like to start off that I'm no leavethesky, who's way better at pimping fics. This is just an experiment (I suppose I'd call it) to get me to read and respond to fic more. And a way to formulate my thoughts before I send feedback. Below are more fics I've read and my thoughts/feelings towards them. This is all completely 'in my opinion' territory. And I make no claims to being an authority on writing. With that said..

Two of these are from the Yuletide ficathon, and femslash_today has provided a wonderful 'unofficial' femslash masterlist if you're looking for something to read. Seriously, if you're thinking *no one's* written a fic in that obscure fandom you're looking for, check that list!!

In my 101 list, one of my items is to send more feedback. Since I'm woefully inadequate at doing it, I figured this would be a good way of getting myself into the habit since I know how important it is, as a writer, to receive feedback. These aren't necessarily recs, but the fics that I've read recently and sent feedback to. Hopefully, it may pique some of ya'll's interest and you too will send feedback!!
